<h1>Help on writing text</h1>

<p>Writing text in Moodle works pretty much the way you would expect, but you
also have the ability to include "smilies", "URL addresses" and some HTML tags in your text.</p>


<h2>Smilies (emoticons)</h2>

<div class="indent">
<p>To embed these small icons in your text, just type the associated code.
These codes themselves are like little pictures if you turn your head to the
left when looking at them.</p>

<div id="emoticons">##emoticons_html##</div>
</div>
<div style="clear:both">&nbsp;</div>


<h2>URLs</h2>

<div class="indent">
<p>Any "word" starting with <b>www.</b> or <b>http://</b> will automatically be
turned into a clickable link.</p>
<p>For example:  <a href="http://www.yahoo.com">www.yahoo.com</a> or
<a href="http://curtin.edu">http://curtin.edu</a>.</p>
</div>


<h2>HTML tags</h2>

<div class="indent">
<p>You can use a limited subset of HTML tags to add emphasis to your texts.</p>

<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5">
<tr><th scope="col">HTML tags</th><th scope="col">Produces</th></tr>
<tr><td>&lt;b&gt; bold &lt;/b&gt; </td><td> <b>bold text</b> </td></tr>
<tr><td>&lt;i&gt; italic &lt;/i&gt; </td><td> <i>italic text</i> </td></tr>
<tr><td>&lt;u&gt; underline &lt;/u&gt; </td><td> <u>underlined text</u> </td></tr>
<tr><td>&lt;font color="green"&gt; example &lt;/font&gt; </td><td> <font color="green">example</font> </td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top">&lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;one&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;two&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </td>
        <td valign="top"> <ul><li>one</li><li>two</li></ul> </td></tr>
<tr><td>&lt;hr /&gt;</td><td> <hr /> </td></tr>
</table>
</div>
